Inspiring! At 21, Idongesit Eseneyen Became The Youngest Medical Doctor in Nigeria

At 21, Idongesit Eseneyen became the youngest medical doctor and best graduating doctor in Pharmacology at the University of Uyo.

Idongesit Eseneyen was admitted into the university at just 15 to study medicine and defied all odds to emerge as the best graduating medical student in her department.

“The award for Best Graduating Doctor in Pharmacology came as a surprise, I wasn’t really expecting it but I am happy,” she said.
“I got inspired to study medicine when I was very little due to my frequent visits to the hospital because my mum is a nurse, and also because of the desire I have to make a difference in people’s lives and I look forward to serving humanity”.
